Any Ford would be my third choice of brands just because I have never been a Ford fan; but to give up a good one because somebody else had a problem is not my way of doing things.

To tell someone that a 6.0 is a problem free truck as good as any other diesel of the same era would be misleading and dishonest at this point.
Bullet proofing is not a term associated with the other brands

How's that? I've got a 2005 6.0 that's got 100k and not had any real issues at all. Recently I started having a little injector stiction issues (in one injector only) that they synthetic oil and archoil additive cleared right up and she's running better than ever. And its not bullet proofed.

Can you honestly say the truck he bought after selling the one he had is better? Its sub par to what he had in basically every category.

Well 100K might be fine for a gas engine, life for a diesel starts at 250K I am at 277K on a one owner used Cummins, 40K of my mileage. Would you buy a used 6.0 at 234K and not think twice about it!.
Truck and engine in great shape.
Sub-par except for the life expectancy of the engine, if he is a true Ford fan only two real choices, 2002 or older and 2011 and newer.
I WAS a Ford fan, then I bought a Cummins!

I have owned Fords in the past they were gassers and good rigs. Just sayin.

Earlier this year I bought a 98 2wd 5sp Cummins with 313K replaced the old fuel lines and cleared up the rough idle and it runs great.

I personally would buy a 7.3 over the 6.0 any day for dependability.
